Do the 2017 duallys come with TPMS standard or as an option, I hope it's not standard.

Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – SRW/F-350 DRW only

So, appears it does come on the dually now as standard equipment

Went by a dealer today, they had a dually I could look at, said yes it is standard and there was no way to turn it off even though it is above the GVWR limit.

I suspect if you were able to turn off the TPMS. It would have to be done via the BCM/PCM with the Ford VCMII and IDS. The 2011 thru 2016 have an option to turn on/off the TPMS since the same module is on both SRW and DRW. The TPMS is allow programmable for the tire pressure thresholds.

Why do you want to turn it off?

Why does a person do lots of things that others do not understand?

I have had duallies for decades. Flats on inboard tires that are undetectable when not loaded have damaged 4 trucks and caused replacement of tires where there was no damge to vehicle on twice that many more. I think dually TPMS is more useful than it is ever has been on a SRW truck.
TPMS is aggravating when tires already having borderline low pressure end up triggering warnings on that first cold morning.

Yes, indeed, why? Although I am not doubting someone's reason for the delete. I just want to learn from others. He must have a reason for wanting to not have a dually TPMS. And it may be a great reason or a not so great reason. Still, any reason is worth hearing.

 

[mmxvxlt]

The main reason is, if it is not mandated to have it then I don't want it and I don't need it, it is something else to have an issue with and with the jobs I've had, you get in the routine of checking the vehicle, I've only had 3 tires catch me off guard in 20 years. Actually it would not bother me so much if they had two settings for the rear, loaded and unloaded but I know that makes sense and ford won't do it.
